I agree tarheel. There is no reason to go rip the series to shreds and make it into something else entirely. Work with what you have, and build off your strengths. Don't start over from the beginning.
Also, don't worry too much about the "last of it's kind" thing. Phantom Hourglass isn't like TP, but it's still very much a Zelda game, just with fresh control styles and settings.
